All, this is just rambling of some memories of my Avery days, please just click delete if not interested ____________________________________________________________________________ __________ I just finished scrolling the list of the graves listed at Savannah Cemetery. I was sadden by the number of names I knew. A few quite well when we live in Avery in the 70s, some I knew their children and others just the family name. I see Gid Holder (E.M. Holder) listed twice. One says WW I and the other WW II. It would have been WW II. Gid owned a cafe and gas station on US 82 on the east end of town. Then sweet little Hallie Hardeman (mother of Harry Hardeman), Dow Floyd, George & Helen Peek (not dead) the Keelings and the Wilburns, George, Cato, Kennedy, Bearden, Titus, Rosenberry, Mullins Stinson, Anderson, Duncan, Nevill. Well I should not have started naming names because there are just too many. Several of the other family names I recall of Annona (Sullivan), Lone Star(Tucker) and the Bagwell/Dimple (Tharp) area. I use to see Joe Wilburn (son of Joe) at Regency Nursing Home at the nursing home with his wife. Joe was at the nursing home for every meal. He is probably still going but I have not been there much since my Dad passed on. Jim Giddens Paris, Tx p.s. I hope Dr. Tom is at the lake and not in the hospital. He took a fall a couple of weeks ago and banged himself up some. ----- Original Message ----- From: "steve" <stevesdoor@attbi.com> To: <TXREDRIV-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 9:02 PM Subject: Re: [TXREDRIV] SAVANNAH Texas.
